See if there is a form to fill out to amend your bar exam application. Also, double check the grammar on your bar exam application.

I wouldn't worry about it, but obviously I am not giving you legal advice here and if you want to know the answer to your question you should seek out a lawyer who has experience in this area.

Rule 8.1 Bar Admission And Disciplinary Matters

An applicant for admission to the bar, or a lawyer in connection with a bar admission application or in connection with a disciplinary matter, shall not:

(a) knowingly make a false statement of material fact; or

(b) fail to disclose a fact necessary to correct a misapprehension known by the person to have arisen in the matter, or knowingly fail to respond to a lawful demand for information from an admissions or disciplinary authority, except that this rule does not require disclosure of information otherwise protected by Rule 1.6.

at the end of the form
CERTIFICATION:
I have completed and submitted an Electronic On-Line Application to sit for the New York State bar examination. I declare
under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of New York that all statements made by me therein are true and
correct. I hereby certify that I am a bona fide applicant for admission to the practice of law in the State of New York and that
my sole purpose in taking the New York State bar examination is for admission to the Bar in New York. I further certify that
I will not share the contents of any part of the examination with any individual, organization or agency. I also understand
that my application for the New York State bar examination and the statements made by me therein and all my acts and
conduct in conjunction with the application and examination are a part of the admission process and may be shared with
the Character and Fitness Committee.

I do not think I am the first one to make this mistake.......

What were you supposed to put? I think you can fix a simple typo.

The application has been finished, I can not correct through internet.

I don't understand the error you made. What should you have put instead of zero?
If it is just an incorrect number, there should be a process to correct it. Don't lose sleep on it this weekend.

NY requires you have taken at least 2 credits from the PR course. Our school's PR course is 3 credits. I chose 0 credit instead of 3. I made this mistake.
Now I can not correct this mistake because I have finished the application.
so....nervous

Yeah I don't think a typo constitutes perjury. I don't see how you could prove intent.

OP is now in jail for perjury.
